Laser Resource Center

Harry B. Gray, PIJay R. Winkler, MBI and Director

The goal of the Beckman Institute Laser Resource Center (BILRC) is to provide the Caltech research community with facilities, instrumentation, and guidance in steady-state and time-resolved laser spectroscopy, conventional spectroscopy, photophysics, and photochemistry. A primary focus is time-resolved spectroscopy for measurements of chemical and biochemical kinetics and the elucidation of reaction mechanisms.

BILRC Spectroscopy resources include:

Transient UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy: time scales from picoseconds to seconds
